We are four humble men who love sports, but hate sports commentary. Peter Gammons is our hero and John Madden is our enemy. If you were to ask us our purpose, our answer would be simple: "We are forever locked in Mortal Kombat for the souls of sports fans everywhere. Statistics are our science and 'the immeasurable character of men' is the obsolete religion of blind faith. Our job is to prove that God doesn't exist and that athletes are merely cold, metal machines with no hearts or souls."

the thing is that fuld did this with the cubs all the time. whenever he got to a ball it would end up in his glove somehow, regardless the position/situation. so if you showed me that video, and paused it in mid flight, i would have bet money he catches it.

The thing with most "great" outfield catches is that the outfielder looks like he makes a great catch but its really because he doesn't have the greatest range or he's playing out of position so what looks like a great catch is just a "can of corn" for more superior players

But Fuld (and the rest of the Rays outfielder) were purposefully playing shallow because Juan Pierre was at bat and for Fuld to essentially come from the infield to the corner of the outfield to make that catch was fan-fucking-tastic
